HAIR RECEIVER.

Application iled April 23, 1924. Serial No. 708,525.

To all wlw/mt may concern.'

Be it known that WTILLIAM S. BLAZnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of indiana, has invented new and useful Improvements in l-lair Receivers, ot which the following is a specification.

In placing combings of' hair in receivers now in use,-it isdifficult to remove the hair The `hair is, as a rule, removed from the comb and wrapped around the finger. The person vrthen inserts the nger in the yreceiver and endeavors to push the wrapped hair from around the finger and at the same time endeavors to retain it in the receiver. Very often several vattempts are necessary in order to cause the hair to `remain in the receiver. Furthermore, the receivers `now in use are relatively light in weight and in removing the hair trointhe finger the receiver is pushed around over the dresser', causing a disarrangement of `the covering on the dresser and sometimes causing the Y receiver to be pushed too 'far to the edge of the dresser, resulting in its falling to the floor.

lt is the purpose of the present invention to provide a hair receiver to overcome these difficulties `and to accomplish this result, the present hair receiver includes a circular brush in the top Vot 'the receiver'which acts to brush the hair 0H the finger when inserted therethrough so 'that the hair will remain in the interior of the receiver.

Another purpose is to provide a base of relatively heavy material on which the upper' or cylindrical wall of the receiver is fastened so as to act to retain the receiver in position on the dresser.

A further purpose is to provide means for connecting the upper part or cylindrical wall of the receiver and the base, whereby the two may be easily and very quickly separated when it is desired to remove the quantity of hair from the receiver.

A still further purpose is the provision of means for retaining a circular ring (which carries the hair bristles) in an annular rabbet adjacent an opening in the top of the receiver. In fact, it is the purpose to retain the ring in position in such wise as to permit the same to be easily removed or cleaning the hair bristles.

It is to be understood that the particulars herein given are in no Way limitative and that, while still keeping within the scope of the invention, any desired modifications of deltail and desired proportions may be made in the apparatus according to the lcircumstances.

'lhe invention comprisesvfurther features and combinations of parts to be hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings and claimed.

ln the drawings:

Figure l is a view in perspective of the improved hair receiver constructed in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional view on 4line 2-2 of Figure l, showing the connection between the cylindrical wall of the receiver and the base, as well as showing the connection between the hair carrying ring andthe top of the receiver.

Figure 3 is an enlarged detaill view of a portion of the top ot the receiver and a portion of the ring, clearly showing the means for connecting the ring tothe annular rabbet.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates the base of the receiver which may be constructed of any suitable material, either celluloid, ivory, glass, amber, china or any other material. This base may have an interior core of heavier material, for instance, as shown at 2. lt is possible to construct the base ot metal. However, if constructed of Celluloid or similark material, la -inetal disk, as indicated at 2, -may be embedded in the under face of the base.

The base has an upstanding cylindrical flange 3 which, in the present instance, is interiorly threaded, as at d, and 5 denotes the cylindrical wall of the receiver, the exterior of which, adjacent its lower edge, has threads to engage the threads l, thereby connecting the wall of the receiver with the flange of the base. It is obvious that the wall ot the receiver may be cylindrical or otherwise shaped or may be provided with any suitable ornamentation or colored.

The wall 5 is made integral with the top G which has a central opening 7 through which the hair on the persons finger may be inserted. The top G on its under face has a downwardly extending flange 8 in surrounding relation to the opening 7. The top adjacent to and concentric' with the opening T has an annular rabbet 9 which receives a ring 10.

The wall of the rabbet is provided with diametrically opposite lugs l1 which. engage with bayonet slots l2 formed in the exterior cylindrical surface of the ring. The ring is inserted in the rabbet so thatthe lugs will enter the bayonet slots and by imparting a partial turn to the ring, the lugs l1 may enter the oHsets 13 of the bayonet slots, thereby holding the ringl securely in the rabbet.

lVhile lug and bayonet slot connections are at present employed, it is obvious that any other suitable connection may be used. In fact, the ring may be threaded in the rabbet in the same manner as the receiver is connected to the base. It is obvious that the base may be connected to thereceiver by a lug and bayonet slot instead oi? threads or other connection used.

The ring 10 on its inner cylindrical surface is provided with hair bristles 14k which extend radially inwardly and downwardly. These bristles terminate a short distance from the center of the ring so as to cause an opening to be formed through the bristles so that a finger may be easily inserted. The hair from the comb is first wrapped in a wad on the linger or otherwise made into a wad and is then inserted through the opening o'li the hair bristles. The bristles act as means to cause a ready removal of the hair from the finger as the linger is withdrawn.

In using the old style receivers,it is necessary to insert the linger several times in the receiver in order to cause the hair to be removed from the finger. `.Vith the present device it is only necessary to insert the linger once through the opening of the hair bristles for the reason that the bristles will readily brush the hair from the linger and retain it on the interior of the receiver. lt is possible that some of the hair may adhere to the bristles but as each wad is inserted,

the successive wads act to remove the Wads previously inserted.

The invention having been set forth, what is claimed is:

l. A. hair receiver comprising a casing having a rabbeted opening in its top, and a circular brush with an opening therethrough engaged in said rabbet, the bristles ot' the brush extending inwardly and downwardly and acting to brush the hair. romvthe finger as it is inserted. 7 M

2. A hair receiver comprising a casing provided with an opening in its top, the under :tace of the top having a rabbet, a circular brush including a holder and inwardly and downwardly extending bristles, andnieans for securing the holder in the rabbet, whereby the bristles may act to brush the hair from the finger as it is inserted.

3. A hair receiver comprising a casing, a circular brush carried by the top thereof, the brush having a central opening and provided with downwardly and inwardly extending bristles to brush the hair from the linger as it is inserted, said casing coinprising a base and a cylindrical wall, and means for connecting the cylindrical wall to the base.

el. A hair receiver comprising a casing, a circular brush carried by the top thereoi, the brush having a central opening and provided with downwardly and inwardly extending bristles `to brush the hair, trom the iinger as it is inserted, said casing coniprising a base and a cylindrical wall, and means for connecting the cylindrical wall to the base, said base being weighted so as to retain the receiver in position on a flat surface.

In testimony whereof he aiiixes his signature.
